10/02/04 Antigua Cruise

[Suecot2000]

I am packed and ready to go!

I'm due to leave for WDW tomorrow morning (9-28). Got all the packing done last night, which is good for me (I usually pack midnight the night before departing). I hope that all goes well. Orlando airport is due to open at noon today, so hopfully there will not be many delays tomorrow. At this point what else can I do but go with the flow. May everyone have a safe journey to Florida this week.

Good Luck to All!
Sue

Hi guys Kim here...


I just recieved confirmations from the restaurant where we will have lunch on the private tour trip. Please remember cash only....

Also please bring $ 20.00 cash per person for the St. Thomas private tour. We will pay in cash at the dock.

Thanks, Kim

Also,

Since we will not able to join you guys at the radisson I will bring all the lanyards with me to the port. Hopefully, I can meet up with everyone and hand out the lanyards before boarding the ship. I have about 120 lanyards for most everyone who is on Eric's list and are over 6 yrs old.

See you soon,

Kim

Jeannie: I also cheated and relied on the "marker technique"! My daughter was kind enough to print out the logos on her color printer, but failed to bring along the directions for applying the transfers. We didn't realize you had to let them cool before you removed the backing and, as a result, they came out VERY light. One of the logos is even quite blurred because somebody (?) shifted the decal after lifting it up to check! If anyone notices, I'll just tell them 1) the ship is rocking and/or 2) they've had too much schnaps.

Laura: how can you get to PC in 9 hours from Mooresville when it takes me 10 and 1/2 from Raleigh? You must have a super huge gas tank and one heck of a bladder!

Good luck to everyone who is leaving in the next day or so......

Jeannie: how's the weather holding up in Charlotte? Are you driving or flying?

Bette -- replied to PM and email.

Jeanne -- Just starting to rain here now. The heavy rain and winds are supposed to start up this afternoon and all night. How is the weather in Raleigh? And by the way, I did have directions and let the transfers cool completely and still had trouble. But then I have never been known for being artistic and/or domestic.

 

[Laurarn]

Jeanneg- I was just "guess"timating.

 

[piglet33]

Just wanted to say hi and hope everyone has a safe trip this week.

Renee ... So far I haven't heard anything back from Pineapple Beach, I'll let you know when I do.

Now I feel better - NOT!

Still going thru my check list ... so far most of the clothes are in the suitcases. Need to finish off the dress clothes and toiletries.
Then try and straighten up the house ... you know how you tear things up packing!

My birth mom is in Orlando area and she said it wasn't that bad with Jeanne.

Less than a handful of days until we see all of you Can't wait!

Hi Everyone!
I have been busy with my out of town guests. And having problems loging onto the boards.
On Sat. DH had to work, so DD, DS and I took our german friends on a 5 hour canoe trip down Econ Fina Creek. They did well. It is not an easy trip. Lots of stuff to navigate through, around, over, and under. But the weather was wonderful, and the company great.
Then on Sunday, we headed out again, this time with DH. We have a little 17 foot Cape Horn. We loaded it down with food and fuel, and headed to Shell Island. Very windy day, and lots of biting flys , but we did see lots of dolphin! They came right up to the boat, and Anja got to pet a few of them!
Then we headed home, rested up, showered and changed and went out to eat. Had a very nice dinner. The best part was Eric lent Casey one of his Game Boy games, which kept Casey very entertained through dinner.
But Monday got here, and we had to release the Germs on PCB without us.
I gave Eric my work number, but since I didn't hear from them today, I'm assumeing that they got though the day ok without us. Tomorrow they are coming for dinner at our house!
Sooner, rather then
Later,
Avé

I also had a hard time getting to the boards.With the trip so close I hope this is a temp. situation.

To everyone going on the Antiqua Adventure Eco tour. Remember to e-mail them before you leave home. They asked for an e-mail to confirm your reservation.

I hope Jill and Tim are finally on board the Magic and having fun.

2 more work days!!!

I think that the servers for this board are located in Orlando so that may explain the trouble logging on.

Radisson at the port is undamaged and open for business. The best western in titusville is open and we are still awaiting word on the port as far as cruise ships goes.

Ave if the Germs get too rowdy feed them a bunch of cholestrol laden food to make them drowsy and then duct tape them Just kidding I think that it is great that the twins were able to entertain and have them in their homes.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday. Mike

Did the shirts tonight. We have just a small logo on the shirt. I didn't do anything on the back. The turned out ok. I just don't like the shirt I bought, but it was cheap. I put Norm's on a golf shirt.

Jeanne--- I'm still looking in my drawers for more disposable underwear. So nice you encouraged everyone to donate to me.

Norm got haircut Sat and I got mine tonight. Finished my ironing. Yes I do iron. I'm a rare species that still does use an iron on a regular basis.

Made kennel reservations I had forgotten about the dogs. Will put the notice out to stop the mail tomorrow. Did some last minute Wal Mart shopping on Sat. I cleaned my house on Friday and with just the 2 of us it should stay clean. I even got a chance to shampoo some of the carpets.

My goal for Tues is to pack.

Glad the Radisson is still open. Now if only the Port is operational. We have a rental car so will need to decide if we want to drive to Ft Lauderdale or just take the bus. In May after our cruise, we drove from Ft Lauderdale airport to WDW and was around 3 1/2 hours.

I guess we will just play the waiting game.

I'm very sad to post that I lost my gramma yesterday. Fortunately it ws peaceful.

At this point, my plan is to have the funeral on Thurs or Fri and still make my flight Fri nite, it all depends on the church and cemetery.

ciadriamom so sorry to hear of the loss of your gramma. Our condolences are with you.
